Integral equations of a cohesive zone model for history-dependent materials and their numerical solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A nonlinear history-dependent cohesive zone (CZ) model of quasi-static crack propagation in linear elastic and viscoelastic materials is presented. The viscoelasticity is described by a linear Volterra integral operator in time.

Fatigue crack propagation in microcapsule toughened epoxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The addition of liquid-filled urea-formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules to an epoxy matrix leads to significant reduction in fatigue crack growth rate and corresponding increase in fatigue life.

Crack propagation in viscoelastic solids [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2005
We study crack propagation in a viscoelastic solid. Using simple arguments, we derive equations for the velocity dependence of the crack-tip radius, a (v) , and for the energy per unit area to propagate the crack, G (v) . For a viscoelastic modulus E (omega) which increases as omega(1-s) (0< s< 1) in the transition region between the rubbery region and

Local dynamics of a randomly pinned crack front during creep and forced propagation: An experimental study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We have studied the propagation of a crack front along the heterogeneous weak plane of a transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) block using two different loading conditions: imposed constant velocity and creep relaxation.

Numerical investigation on the prefabricated crack propagation of FV520B stainless steel

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2017
FV520B is a common stainless steel for manufacturing centrifugal compressor impeller and shaft. The internal metal flaw destroys the continuity of the material matrix, resulting in the crack propagation fracture of the component, which seriously reduces ...

Influence of woven ply degradation on fatigue crack growth in thin notched composites under tensile loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper deals with the fatigue of the through the-thickness crack propagation in thin notched composite laminates made of two glass woven plies. It highlights the different crack growths between warp and weft directions of the woven ply.

Crack propagation analysis and fatigue life assessment of high-strength bolts based on fracture mechanics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
To investigate the effect of initial cracks on the fatigue performance of high-strength bolts for high-speed train brake discs, the fatigue crack propagation behavior of high-strength bolts under the coupling action of preload and dynamic fatigue load ...

Some exact results for the velocity of cracks propagating in non-linear elastic models

open access: yes, 2006
We analyze a piece-wise linear elastic model for the propagation of a crack in a stripe geometry under mode III conditions, in the absence of dissipation.

Effect of grain structure on fatigue crack propagation behavior of 2024 aluminum alloy under different stress ratios

open access: yesMaterials & Design
The fatigue load that a material experiences and its microstructure are important factors influencing fatigue crack propagation behavior. This study employed laser scanning microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technology, along with ...

Study of the Kalthoff–Winkler experiment using an ordinary state-based peridynamic model under low velocity impact

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
To overcome the limitation of constant Poisson’s ratio in bond-based peridynamics, an ordinary state-based peridynamic (OSB PD) model was applied to simulate dynamic crack propagation in Kalthoff–Winkler specimen subjected to a low velocity impact.
